Johnson Elementary Blogs of the Week

Congratulations to ALL Johnson Teachers for beginning this challenge with blogging.

This week in the Teacher Challenge with Edublogs we are learning how to get more out of our widgets on our sidebar.

Well.. Here was my strategy before I placed any widgets on my blog. I had to think about who would be my readers and would they even be interested in my widgets. So first I embedded the common ones Twitter and the subscription option.

But from my Twitter, I learned of two interesting websites and embedded their widgets.

These are daily humorous and informative podcast episodes of helpful hints on how to get your day moving and organized while being being busy with your families and/or careers. You have three widget choices in which you can embed a player into your blog: Single Player, Multi-Player, or Add a Button. Widget link:http://www.blogtalkradio.com/promote.aspx?HostID=19199
